Lupita Nyong’o Loves to Braid

July 7, 2014

As if her beauty, fashion sense and overall awesomeness weren’t enough, this happens. HA! More things to love. Who knew?!

Learning about the things people did before they “hit it big”… well, actually… just learning about the hidden talents of folks in general, celeb or not, is pretty cool. Seeing a different side of people kinda keeps life interesting. I very much enjoy the fact that she loves to braid because I share that love. Yes, I love doing hair and have been doing so, here and there, since I was in junior high school. Being able to create styles and knowing that you had a part in helping a women look and feel beautiful… feels pretty good. Another plus? This art of hair braiding can actually be quite relaxing!

In this short film by Vogue, directed by Austin Peters, the Oscar-winning actress demonstrates her favorite pastime with her six best friends.

How did Lupita get into hair braiding in the first place and how successful was she at this “side hustle”? Watch to find out! 😉
